Hua Hin


Teatime meets tropical flair at this antique Thai pavilion overlooking the beach. The teak haven, built in the 19th century, is named after its former owner, an American doctor raised in Siam by missionary parents. Now the two-storey pavilion is prime real estate for afternoon tea, Sunday brunch or sunset cocktails.
